Lawyers claim cables were attached in a way that put too much tension on utility poles, causing them to lean and break when flames burned down much of Lahaina.

This photo taken on Aug. 20, 2023 shows the aftermath of wildfires in Lahaina town, Maui Island, Hawaii, the United States.

Pacific Gas & Electric in California filed for bankruptcy in 2019 due to a succession of harrowing wildfires ignited by its long-neglected electrical grid in Northern California. The complaint also seeks to hold other parties responsible. It says when old wooden power poles fell, they landed on highly flammable vegetation that had not been maintained by private and state landowners and both "ignited the fire and fueled its cataclysmic spread." It says the county should have properly maintained vegetation, aggressively reduced nonnative plants, and sounded sirens to warn people of the approaching fire.
